Best cheap things to do in Gibraltar
By Ethan Roworth·Last checked 2 June 2026
Gibraltar is not cheap. Eating well costs UK prices, the Upper Rock ticket is £30. With the cable car closed for refurbishment, you have to walk up (free) or pay £35-50 for a taxi tour. But you can absolutely do a great day under £40 a head if you know what to skip.
Mediterranean Steps
A demanding cliff-path hike along the eastern face of the Rock, with near-vertical drops to the Mediterranean and views across to Morocco on a clear day.
Why we picked it: Free if you enter from the south. The best walk in Gibraltar.
Europa Point
The southernmost tip of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic and Morocco is just 14 kilometres away. Free, open all day, worth it at sunset.
Why we picked it: Free. Bus 2 from Casemates gets you there for £1.50.
Casemates Square
The main square of Gibraltar, once a military parade ground and place of public execution, now the busy social centre of town life.
Why we picked it: Free wandering, cheap eats from £8 if you skip Main Street.
